Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Some students earned good grades, but unclear feedback, tough grading, and vague assignments make the A feel unreliable.
Online evidence shows confusion and some high grades, while in-person evidence is split between easy praise and harsh grading complaints.
Is the course easy?
The content is usually manageable, but fast pacing, vague assignments, and quiz coverage make it feel harder than the subject itself.
Online reviews mention fast pacing and confusing quizzes, while in-person reviews focus more on communication and group-work issues.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance expectations are not consistently stated, but participation and class presence appear to matter in several reviews.
Online reviews emphasize participation and workload, while in-person reviews include stronger warnings that skipping class can hurt performance.
Is this professor recommended?
Students often do not recommend her because feedback, organization, and communication are inconsistent.
Online reviews are mostly negative with a few positives, while in-person reviews are highly polarized.
